“The best novelist of his generation.” –Allan Massie, Scotsman Praise for Birdsong: “A lyrical masterpiece.” –The Edmonton Journal “A brilliant, harrowing tale of love and war…engrossing, moving, and unforgettable…. So powerful, you long to call it perfect.” –The Times (UK) Of Charlotte Gray: “A beautifully-told tale... Faulks throws fascinating new light on the nature of French ‘collaboration’ with the Nazis, and throws the ideals of artistic creativity and the realities of the death camps into wrenching juxtaposition.” –The Vancouver Sun
